Vampire Sonnets Xxii Without a Trace

I rounded a street missing a lantern,
the heat in my eyes was starting to burn; 
It felt like gravity was all but gone 
my sharp fangs extended as I walked on;

Creeping closer still hidden completely 
Fable stood a few feet ahead of me; 
‘Recommendation: Don’t do that again.’  
I said this but knew she would not abstain;

Knowing this I came an inch from her face 
‘I’ll make you disappear without a trace.’
Being guided by such an  angry force 
every word was more than a little coarse;

Glowering at me she said ‘They will hunt you.’
 ‘They may’ I said ‘but respect I’ll accrue.’
